Don's Bogam

For a fun and festive night with family and friends, head to Don's Bogam. The food here is fantastic—no wonder this place is perpetually packed. Be sure to reserve ahead as every seat is filled, from the front bar and two-tops to the elevated level of traditional, sunken tables with powerful grills and enormous vents. Go hungry and order platters of immaculate beef and oodles of soju. Novices can rest easy as the gracious staff will guide and grill your way through their classic Korean menu featuring dishes like japchae, stir-fried sweet potato noodles in sesame oil with beef, vegetables, and soy sauce; or deep-fried pork mandu with a sesame- soy- and scallion sauce. Thinly sliced beef bulgogi with mushrooms and carrots is utterly memorable.
